With ample time built in for Q&A, you can ask your most pressing questions of someone with more than fifteen years' experience working with technical startups as well as high tech, multinational firms.
Your customer is changing, and your strategy must, too. You may have heard a lot of talk about inbound marketing, but how does it translate to our industry?

Learn from others in the industry about what works in attracting and engaging with the new customer.

How do you turn R&D into a marketing asset? From patent to sales, this workshop focuses on maximizing your investment in patents to create awareness and build credibility in the markets you serve. For many companies, their technology is their differentiator and it should be marketed as such. This presentation demonstrates how an effective positioning strategy can lead to success in all stages of business, including product launches, branding, the patent process, and channel expansions.
As President of Launch Team Inc., Michele creates winning PR and marketing strategies for high tech, optics, photonics and services companies looking to grow sales.

Rise Up: 10 Tips From Rise Sister Rise
I've kind of always been a book worm. My elementary school held a competition each year; if a student read 100 books they would get their name put on the fluorescent sign outside.
Each year when I completed book 100 my grandparents would take me over to the sign and take a photo in front of the words:
Congratulations, Michelle D'Avella! 100 Book Reader!
My thirst for story and knowledge has never ended, and while I no longer read 100 books a year I am always finding amazing people to learn from. So I've decided to begin sharing some of the stories, lessons, and insights that I find most impactful.
I read Rebecca Campbell's first book, Light is the New Black, on the sandy beaches of Tulum. As soon as her newest book, Rise Sister Rise, was available for preorder I scooped up one for myself and one for a friend.
Here are ten powerful insights on how to rise up from Rise Sister Rise:
1. Remember that life is not linear, it's cyclical
This is a big one for so many people. We get really caught up in the idea that we are on a journey to perfection. Even though we know perfection might not exist we strive for it, and when we fall we feel defeated. Life is a constant ebb and flow, and the sooner we embrace that truth the more enjoyable our journey will be.
In Rebecca's words:
"No one day is better or worse, both have much richness to offer—the days when we rise and the ones when we fall. The sign of a true soul pilgrim is that when the brittle winds slap Her face, somewhere deep down there is an inner voice within whispering that this experience is good too. If we are here to use and grow and expand and lead, then the challenging times aren't worse than the celebratory ones."
How to apply this to your life: Allow for the ups and downs in life. Don't make a problem out of feeling bad.
2. Reconnect to your feminine energy
Every human being embodies both masculine and feminine energy. Our culture tends to value masculine qualities. As we've begun to deny the feminine we've also become disconnected from our bodies, how to heal ourselves, and how to manifest our desires.
In Rebecca's words:
"God has been considered to be female for much longer than She has been considered male."
Ancient Mother God worship dates back from that 35,000 years, making it more ancient than Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism.
Women's bodies were seen as sacred and women as Goddesses because they quite literally give birth to Life. We all came from woman. The planet was seen as feminine (Mother Earth). Our menstrual cycle connected to the phases of the moon, our ancestors marking the moon's phases through etching into bone. People lived in accordance with the Earth's natural rhythms and cycles, and thus in harmony with all of Life."
How to apply this to your life: Work with your breath to surrender. Begin to accept compliments and gift graciously.
3. Balance your energy
We can have a tendency to see a problem and think that the solution is in the opposite. It's important to recognize that as individuals and as a collective we need to find a healthy balance between both our feminine and masculine energies.
In Rebecca's words:
"As we are coming out of 5,000 years of patriarchy, where the unbalanced masculine has been the focus, it is important to note that the unbalanced feminine can be just as destructive. Just as the sacred feminine's anger has been silenced through patriarchy, the sacred masculine's ability to express emotion and recognize his divinity has too. As we recover from patriarch, it is important not to aspire to its polar opposite—patriarchy to matriarchy. Rather, let's bring the sacred masculine and sacred feminine energies back into balance."
How to apply this to your life: Notice if you repress more of the masculine or feminine. Begin to embrace qualities of the other without making a problem out of the dominant energy currently in your system.
4. Embrace the seasons
I was born and raised in New Jersey, and I always hated the cold. After moving to Los Angeles I have tried to visit home during warmer months to keep myself away from the cold as much as possible.
I happened to read Rise Sister Rise at the end of December, curled up in an afghan my Grandmother had made as the snow fell outside of our cabin in the woods in Pennsylvania. I realized how much my body was craving restoration and the cozy feeling of warmth from fire.
In Rebecca's words:
"In a 10-year-period, there was one year that I stayed and let winter work Her magic….During these dark days and evenings, bunkered up in a blanket and thermals, I was able to fully hit my rock bottom. And it was here that I found myself. In those weeks, when it felt like the whole city had gone into hibernation, I fanned the flames of my inner light and finally committed to quitting my job, following my passion, and starting a new life for myself. Had I not let the darkness and bitter winds of my inner winter be realized, perhaps I wouldn't have found the patent clarity that winter gave me."
How to apply this to your life: Spend time in nature alone. Feel what gift the weather is giving you.
5. Create ritual
I have intuitively begun to crave ritual and sacredness in my life these past few years. I use ritual to help me connect to the sacred element of life that can easily slip through our awareness in our busy lives.
In Rebecca's words:
"Through ritual and ceremony we are in effect taking a moment to recognize and invoke the sacredness of Life."
To take the time to mark a transition that has happened, is happening or that we would like to call in. When we gather in a meaningful open way, our heart and soul can feel it and are nourished in ways unknown to our mind. Is is in the sacred space opened in ritual and ceremony that our remembering is deepened and we have the potential to connect with the soul of all things."
How to apply this to your life: Begin to work with rituals and see which resonate with you most.
6. Embrace your shadow
Your shadow is the part of yourself you work to keep hidden. It's full of pain, discomfort, shame, and guilt. Shadow Work is the work I spend most of my time teaching about. In order to heal we have to dig deep into our shadows, embrace all of what we find, and do this work over and over again.
In Rebecca's words:
"Your shadow is your ticket home. If you ignore or banish Her, She will control you from within. If you listen to what She has to say, to what made Her this way, to what She was once denied She will tell you all that you need to set Her and you free.
The brightest of people I know are as bright as they are for they have embraced all shades of their human nature. The shadow is not something that we can use spirituality to rid ourselves from once and for all."
How to apply this to your life: Pay attention to your fears. Be willing to face into them. Work with your breath to acknowledge your truth.
7. Learn to hold space for another
One of my favorite books, The Invitation by Oriah Mountain Dreamer, speaks about this topic and resonated deeply with me when I first read it years ago. We get very uncomfortable with other people's emotions, especially sadness, and we often find ourselves feeling the need to do something. We hug them, rub their back, says soothing things.
It comes from good intentions but it doesn't allow the person to process their pain as they need to. They are not truly held and because of this often feel responsible for shoving their feelings down to make everyone else feel comfortable.
In Rebecca's words:
"One of the most generous gifts you can give someone is your ability to be with them without trying to get them somewhere or get something for yourself."
To hold them energetically without turning the conversation back to you.
To refrain from saying 'me too,' 'in my experience,' 'I can so relate,' or 'how about this.'
To resist fixing, guiding, saving, or moving at a different speed.
To meet them where they're at and for that place to be absolutely OK."
How to apply this to your life: Notice how you feel when someone expresses their pain. When you try to make them feel better it's often because you feel uncomfortable yourself. Resist the urge to change anything, and just be there.
8. Allow your jealousy to teach you
Jealousy is a human experience that holds so much shame and judgement. I have been consciously working with the emotion of jealousy for the past few years, and it's been an incredibly illuminating experience. I loved Rebecca's perspective of jealousy in Rise Sister Rise.
In Rebecca's words:
"Jealousy triggers the part of us that sees ourselves as separate. So when we discover that someone else has something we want, we believe that because they have it, it means we cannot. Jealousy shines a light on what we deeply desire for ourselves. A creation you haven't gotten around to making happen, an experience you have been yearning to have, a decision you have been avoiding making.
Our jealous pangs can hint at the ways we have been seeing ourselves small. They can also reseal the ways we are looking at external approval as a sense of validation. When your jealousy is triggered, it could be a big fat sign pointing to where you should be investing your energy and what the Universe is wanting o create with YOU."
How to apply this to your life: Pay attention to your jealousy. Notice what you want that someone else haves and use affirmations to validate your deserving of it, too.
9. Let of of your struggling artist/healer belief
Working through limiting beliefs around money has changed my life, and it can be a constant practice if the belief runs really deep. I live my life with the deep knowledge that I am serving the world. I can feel it in my bones. I have confidence in that, and I have confidence in the exchange of my value.
In Rebecca's words:
"The work you are here to do is priceless. And for most artists and healers and the like, the work is done in subtle ways. That is, the one hour of your time that you are offering is, energetically speaking, more than one hour of your time."
If someone buys six sausages from a butcher they don't give you eight; they don't give their sausages away for free or at a discounted price; they don't answer emails at 10p.m. at night; they don't spend hours questioning whether they are good enough; they just show up and sell their sausages like a normal person shows up to work. Because that's their job, they're a butcher. Show up, do your job to the best of your ability and cut off when you click off so that you can do it again the next day. Simple."
How to apply this to your life: Use your breath to clear limiting beliefs and connect to your worth. Begin to set firm boundaries when you exchange.
10. Put self care first
Taking care of yourself is the most important thing you can do if you want to show up in the world as your highest self and serve. You can't skimp out of it. You can't find a short cut. You have to show up for yourself before you can show up for anyone else.
A big part of my day, every single day, is taking care of myself. I practice Breathwork, Chakra Cleansing, journaling, physical movement, and other rituals daily because it supports me in giving. When I'm getting burnt out it literally feels like my well is running dry. I have nothing of value to offer. So I give myself what I need every day to be the best for myself and for the world.
In Rebecca's words:
"When you are committed to your rising, you must honor the healing that needs to take place within you. And sometimes the most productive thing to do is to stop everything and tend to that. To process that. To embody that. To know the subtle difference between when to make it happen and when to let it happen.
Do not resist your body's self-care needs. You are being called to birth this new world, but in order to do so you must put your needs and tend to your own inner well as a priority. You are no use to anyone exhausted and parched. One can only share what she has in plenty. We must be ferocious in ensuring we tend to our own self-care before service. We must be sustainable in order to rise and bring about consistent change."
How to apply this to your life: Refuse to put your needs off. Begin a daily self care practice by intuitively asking yourself what you need.
These are some of the insights that I have found most valuable and ones I felt would serve you as well. If you're interested in reading Rise Sister Rise I highly recommend it. It's broken up into small lessons to make it really easily to pick up at any time.

Hurricane season is here, which means you'll start seeing all sorts of high-tech gadgets designed to make you better prepared -- hand-cranked generators, solar-powered radios, external batteries for smart phones, battery-powered portable TVs, DC inverters, and on and on.
Often overlooked, however, are document scanners. If you're a business owner without a scanner, you're missing an opportunity to reduce paperwork clutter and increase security by keeping important documents in digital form.
If you're a resident of the Gulf South, scanning birth certificates, insurance papers, irreplaceable photographs, and ID cards is just plain smart, particularly if you store them using cloud-based storage. Scanning receipts can also make tax time less stressful for both business owners and individual taxpayers.
Given the prevalence of neighborhood copy centers and the megapixels provided by today's digital cameras, you might ask: are scanners worth the money? The answer is "yes!"
Inexpensive smart phone apps exist that will let digitize documents, but what they deliver can't compare with the results produced by a device designed for this purpose. A personal document scanner is a solid investment, provided you choose one that is well-built, easy to use, rarely jams, and comes with useful software.
If you're ready to start shopping, Fujitsu's award-winning ScanSnap product line is a good place to start. Let's start with the company's newest and most impressive offering, the ScanSnap iX500.
The iX500 features built-in Wi-Fi connectivity that lets you scan directly to an Android- or iOS-powered device ("PC-free scanning"). The ScanSnap Connect app can be downloaded for free from Google Play Store and the iTunes App Store.
The device is compatible with either a PC or a Mac and features a customizable Quick Menu. With the push of a button, documents are scanned and saved to your smart phone or tablet, ready to view, share, or send to the cloud.
Equipped with a CPU-mounted "GI" image processor, the ScanSnap iX500 can instantly scan and transmit PDF or JPEG files, such as contracts, receipts, bills, invoices, business cards, etc.
The scanner is equipped with USB 3.0 connectivity and can create PDF files at speeds of up to 25 double-sided color pages per minute (300dpi, color), 25 percent faster than the iX500's highly-regarded predecessor, the ScanSnap S1500.
The iX500 also has a 50-page automatic document feeder (ADF). Fujitsu accomplishes exceptional feeder reliability using enhanced "Separation Roller" technology to maximize feeding reliability across an even wider range of documents and scanning situations.
The scanner abounds in other useful scanning features, such as automatic paper size and color detection, automatic de-skew, orientation, and blank page detection/deletion, plus the ability to scan a document up to 34 inches long.
Bundled software includes ScanSnap Manager, a flexible way to manage PDF, searchable PDF, and image files that allows you to transfer them to folders, email them, or send them to cloud-based repositories like Evernote, Dropbox, and others.
ABBYY FineReader for ScanSnap allows users to be productive by quickly transforming their paperwork into editable Word, Excel and PowerPoint files at the push of a button.
The Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500 sells for $495 at Fujitsu's Online Store. For more information, visit Fujitsu.com.
Fujitsu ScanSnap S1100 Portable Color Image Scanner
For a more compact, mobile, and affordable scanner, consider the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1100, an ultra-portable model that works with a PC or a Mac and also supports Google Docs, Evernote and other cloud services. Simply insert a document, press a button, select the destination, and you're done!
The S1100 has features similar to scanners found in office settings, but with extreme mobility that is ideal for freelancers, outside sales people, and business travelers. The unit weighs less than 12.5 ounces and measures just 10.75 x 1.85 x 1.35 inches, making it compact enough to fit in almost any notebook bag.
ScanSnap software (included) seamlessly generates a searchable PDF, image file, e-mail, or contact data, as well as editable files for Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. The unit captures up to eight pages per minute and can also scan embossed plastic cards, ID cards, or business cards.
Other notably functions are Intelligent Indexing, which converts highlighted words in a document into keywords for faster, easier searches; Intelligent Cropping and Rotation, which automatically aligns and crops documents even if they are inserted skewed or upside down; Continuous Document Feeding (CDF, which accepts up to eight pages per minute non-stop (7.5 seconds per page) and combines pages automatically into a multi-page file, in the correct order.
Bundled software includes ScanSnap Manager, Abbyy FineReader for ScanSnap, Evernote, CardMinder, Scan to Microsoft SharePoint and OfficeLive, and Cardiris for Mac OS X.
Two cleverly-designed protective flaps facilitate a straight feed or automatic reverse for scanning both sides. You can also forget about power cords or batteries, because the included USB cable transfers data and supplies power.
The Fujitsu ScanSnap S1100 sells for $199 at Fujitsu's Online Store. For more information, visit Fujitsu.com.

Amulet Exhibition
We are delighted to announce that artist Marie Brett is bringing her nationally acclaimed 'The Amulet / Anamnesis' artwork to the conference. Produced during a renowned collaboration with bereaved parents and three Irish maternity hospitals, this sound and visual artwork is a unique interactive experience that's been said to "Make your feel and think differently about infant loss".
Location: Aula Maxima
Dates: 23rd & 24th September 2017
For further details please visit http://www.mariebrett.ie/Amulet.html and http://amulets.ie/?page_id=10
The Amulet : Anamnesis an Introduction
We all have amulets, those special objects often hidden away in drawers and cupboards which mark a significant time, occasion or person in our lives. Particular to infant loss, this poetic artwork titled 'Anamnesis' links photographs of family amulets together with bereaved parent's whispered stories describing their amulet's meaning.
'Anamnesis' is a Greek word meaning to recall to memory or memorial sacrifice. The artwork aims to draw the viewer into a special world of quiet reflection, shedding light on an often hidden aspect of Irish life. The artist Marie Brett collaborated with bereaved parents to produce the artwork, as part of The Amulet Project 2009/13

Every other year, we would visit my Mother's Brother and family for Thanksgiving when we would exchange the multiple boxes containing the tree. Being 100 yrs. old by the time I was born, the contents were much too fragile, not to mention valuable, to ship. At first, I remember going to our Gram's home where she proudly featured her Husband's family heritage. After that, Gram spent Christmases between my Uncle's house and ours, following the tree religiously. With antique toys and live candles, we were verboden to go anywhere near the tree.
One year when I was in high school and my older sinister was on break from college, we decided to take it upon ourselves to tackle the assembly which had become a "Rubik's cube"-like challenge with its warped platforms and bent fan blades. The tree required periodic maintenance and I can picture My Dad and Uncle touching up the red, white and blue paint coating the picket fences and peg-legged farm animals rigged by wooden matchsticks. Many pieces spent the night in the vice so as to fit into its respective place, or the integrity of the entire product would fail. They meticulously numbered and labeled each piece for repacking and reassembling.
I was assigned "Great Expectations" to read over the Christmas break, which is the only reason I got out of church that morning. The otherwise privileged college student & I figured we were now old enough to raise the tree, let alone even touch it. Nonetheless, no one was home to tell us otherwise. We collectively managed to put it together, invoking the precision of a Swiss watchmaker and perhaps, our Great, Great Grandfather. Our parents were thrilled and impressed so we were "permitted" to assist in future years. It was a rite of passage until we all married, had families of our own and were never "responsible" enough to house The Tree ourselves.
The years we were blessed with the German Christmas Tree demanded an open house. Neighbors, family, friends and the local press, approaching 200 in number, would flow in and out of our house all evening. The periodic cold blasts of air from the opening of the front door would temper the heat that built up from the 45 Angel Chime candles illuminating the tree. This reprieve was essential for the tree to function properly. You see, a German Christmas Tree mechanically constructed of merely wood, is an engineering marvel of moving parts. The tilted fan blades topping the tree would catch the rising heat from the candles, causing each tier to turn. The animals were antique German toys originally filled with candy and positioned on each turntable. Wild animals donned the first, birds on the second, domestic farm animals on the third, and a miscellaneous collection (from over the century plus), on the fourth. When the surrounding air became too hot, the tree would come to a halt and when there was too much heat beneath the tree, each turntable would spin wildly out of control causing the animals to literally go flying! We would laugh at the familiar "chunk-ing" sounds from the fallen creatures. It was our cue to notify Dad that some candles needed to be extinguished. We soon understood why so many of the less stable critters had prophylactic limbs.
I mentioned that the impetus for the "spin" (pun intended) on this tree was my GGGrandfather's patriotism for this country, inspiring him to paint the hand-carved picket fences from wooden jewelry boxes in white with red points. The blue fence posts on each corner supported the metal candle holders from watch cases. The top level featured Uncle Sam painted in the American flag, a now politically incorrect Black Sambo, an elephant, a donkey and a black cat representing superstition. Each blade of the fan alternated red, white and blue, affixed to a bent center support rod pivoting on a pin on the base of the tree, adorned by the Nativity. Old Hummel-like figurines shared the scene with more animals and a handcrafted manger cradling a wax baby Jesus. The wax Jesus was original and feel the true miracle is that it hasn't melted into oblivion under the extreme heat all these years! When we had our own homes and incorporated our own family traditions, our Mother presented each of us with a table top version of the carved wooden German Christmas Tree. As touching a gesture as that may be, it undoubtedly alleviated her of a little guilt. This tiny tree is much easier to put together, remaining in mostly a single piece where both animals and people are permanently affixed to each layer. I take great pleasure lighting it several times during the season and remembering what it represents. Now my daughter would like it to grace her home for her children. Someday…
Whatever you celebrate or honor or recognize at this time of year, traditions like these are the most cherished and memorable. Our ancestors passed down these traditions from differing cultures to share a little bit of home and themselves, during this special time of year.

In about an hour and half, a number of actors will join for a panel on what it is like for an actor to work with George Romero. Don't you wish you were at ZomBcon 2011?
There are a couple of panels I am really looking forward to today such as "A Brave New World: Women in Horror Talk the Apocalypse." Ask my wife, I'm totally a third-wave feminist. The women on the panel, including Jovanka Vuckovic, will talk about the expanding and changing roles of women in horror journalism, literature and film making.
Later, Vuckovic wil be talking about the short film she's making called "The Captured Bird." She told me it's been her own version of film school and I am very excited to hear her talk about it for an hour. I'm such a nerd.
There are also panels on "The Walking Dead" and one with special effects icon Tom Savini.
If you are coming, check out the schedule at the ZomBcon website.
If you are here, say hello!

Self Storage Tips
- Don't overfill or under fill your boxes.
- Stacked boxes are safer if filled.
- Fill empty pockets in boxes with packing materials.
- Be sure that you don't make boxes too heavy to lift.
- Label your boxes to easily identify the contents.
Fragile Items
Nest cups and bowls, stand plates and saucers on edge. Pack delicate items separately using bubble wrap or tissue paper. Avoid using newspaper as the ink can stain. Pack mirrors, pictures and records on edge not flat. Books can be packed flat in boxes to protect spines.
Clean clothes before packing as residues can cause mould. All materials should be folded or wrapped with moth balls. Clothing and linen can be packed in large boxes or plastic bags.
Electronic Items
Label all leads and sockets so you remember what goes where. Avoid using shredded paper to pack VCRs or DVDs. Make sure disks, CDs and DVDs are removed from machines. Locate the original packing if possible and seal the lids.
Metal Items
Clean and dry tools and metals before storing. Wipe such items with a lightly oiled rag. Tie tools securely into bundles. Vehicles and machinery should be drained of oil and petrol.
- If possible disassemble beds and wardrobes to save space.
- Chairs should be stowed seat to seat or upside down on unassembled items.
- Use sheets of cardboard on the floor of the unit to protect uncovered items.
- If short of space you can store sofas and mattresses on end.
- Leave a gap between your goods and the container walls to help ventilate the container.
Thoroughly dry refrigerators, freezers, and washing machines before storing. Clean ovens and cooking utensils to prevent mould or rust. Store appliances with the doors slightly ajar.
Important Items
Keep frequently used or needed items near the entrance of the unit. Store least used items first. Store important documents in the same place. ALSO.. Remember to open the door of your unit regularly to check on your contents and help ventilation. If going away whilst your goods are in storage ensure you arrange for someone to do this for you.
General Care
To ensure full protection from damp and the elements we strongly suggest that all items within the unit are covered with waterproof materials.

The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Bothered]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
Sindome is an attempt at a cyberpunk-themed RP-enforced MUD, but fellshort for me in a number of ways.First, the theme itself hits many of the notes of cyberpunk butmisses the mood entirely. There are world echoes of gritty happeningsjuxtaposed against silly pun-named stores and graffiti with referencesto modern pop-culture and memes. All in all it feels like a satire ofsci-fi in the vein of Robocop or Idiocracy than a traditionalcyberpunk setting.Right away you write a background justifying why you have the skillsyou picked up in chargen, which is par for the course in an RP MUD,but the game turns around and upends the background you just wrote bydeclaring basic knowledge of the tools and *syntax* used IC knowledge.Documentation is sparse. The result is that your mechanic characterhas to write a background explaining how they learned to repairthings, and then enter the world without any idea of how to repairthings or what tools they would use to repair them - by design.Sindome says this is intentional because they hold roleplay as moreimportant than code. Reading the posts on the forum, you are directedto seek out employment from other players as a means to learn thesyntax and get money to pay for clothes and the tools they need. Thereexist a code-based methods for getting money, however, such as SHI.At SHI you must type 'work' every six and a half minutes or elseyou'll be thrown out. You earn 250 credits per real-life hour.Alcoholic beverages start at 90 credits and go up to 300. Clothingstarts in the hundreds and goes into the thousands. Armor starts inthe thousands and goes in the tens of thousands. Tech-items start inthe upper-thousands and go into the hundreds of thousands. The othermethod of earning money is delivering delivering packages to NPCs, notplayers, at a maximum of between three and five packages per RL day.Packages give approximately 100-200 credits each.There is mechanical support for shoplifting from stores, but when Iattempted it I received an OOC prompt that said shoplifting had beendisabled.Most of the players I met were quasi-AFK grinding at SHI for money.The bars are often desolate, and when I did happen to find people in abar they told me that they were not hiring and told me to work forSHI. There is an in-game mail system you can use to reach out but Ifound that most players did not reply. I received one message, and itwas to tell me that they could not hire me because they werecontracted to an NPC group.I attempted to join the NPC group because my skill set matchedtheirs, but staff did not animate them or acknowledge the @notestating I had been seeking employment. According to posts on theforums, getting staff to animate an NPC can take several real-lifehours.Despite the gritty echoes of danger you'll see when walking around,the main city is fairly safe. There are no aggressive NPCs on thestreets. Additionally, you gain experience not from using your skillsor from roleplaying, but from logging online hours. This means that ifyou work at SHI to make money you're gaining experience that can beused to raise combat skills the entire time.During my time at Sindome I encountered a number of bugs, includingone chargen bug that had been reported at least a year ago by anothernew player asking for help on the forums. Another was a website bugnot properly displaying archetype descriptions which was reportedduring an October 2015 town hall but, as of yet, has not been fixed.Another bug I encountered in game caused your bank account to becharged when it said you should be credited funds, causing my newcharacter to immediately owe thousands in debt.
(The following review comment is the opinion of the comment's author
[Slither] and in no way represents the opinions of this website
or its staff).
Thank you for reviewing Sindome. I am a senior staff member there,and I wanted to address some of the concerns / critiques you raised inyour review.I'm going to quote some of the points made and reply in-line withthem."juxtaposed against silly pun-named stores and graffiti withreferences to modern pop-culture and memes."Sindome is an homage to Cyberpunk. We have streets named after famouscyberpunk authors, and a handful of locations that are a wink and anudge away from their counterparts in fiction or movies.There are also thousands of rooms with unique names, uniquedescriptions and vibrant NPCs. Everyone who has ever worked on Sindomehas done so because they love cyberpunk.As for graffiti with modern pop-culture references and memes. I 100%agree that this is unacceptable. Graffiti is put up in game with cansof spray paint. It's for gangs to mark their turf or a serial killerto claim responsibility for their latest murder. It's all playercreated and as such, there are times when something appears ICly thatperhaps should not.Instances of graffiti like this can be reported via xhelp and will beremoved by staff and the player who put it up will be contacted andasked to stay on theme.There are other cases of this happening, for instance, if someoneenters the game and writes their character description such that theyappear to be a dragon.It's the kind of thing you see in larger games that have newplayers entering on a regular basis. Our community is very good atreporting these types of things for the staff to address."declaring basic knowledge of the tools and *syntax* used ICknowledge"This is true in most situations. We do want players to learn aboutcoded game mechanics in as fluid and in-character fashion as possible.The exception here is if you are having trouble with syntax, we offerin-game help channels to connect with your fellow players (xgame) andstaff (xhelp).There are also, in some cases, in character training materials forvarious jobs. Such as cybernetics doctor, or mechanic, that can befound on the in-game internet (the grid).I don't disagree that from the outset, this can be frustrating andsometimes daunting. However, it can be very rewarding and contributesto your overall sense of accomplishment with the game, to learn thesethrough IC means (role play, research).There are hundreds of roles a character can fill on Sindome. Be it amechanic, a ripper doc, a cyberdoc, a fixer, a judge, a rent-a-cop, adrug pusher, a drug maker… the list goes on and on. It is notcompletely feasible to write detailed documentation on how each ofthese is best done from an OOC standpoint.All that being said, we are always expanding our help files and haverecently added support for additional help files for each IC skill.Our goal being to alleviate some of the frustration that you felt whenattempting to learn OOCly about automotive technology."Documentation is sparse."This may be true in some cases, especially with features that arestill under development (we are still in open-beta and under constantdevelopment). However, not only do we have in-game help files andchannels, we offer these help files on our website in a fullysearchable format.http://www.sindome.org/help/Our website search combines help files, forum posts, guides, andother content into a unified search to make it as easy as possible tofind answers to the questions you might have.We have a detailed new player guide:http://www.sindome.org/help/newbie/We have video tutorials for those who prefer to learn that way:http://www.sindome.org/help/video-tutorials/We have a cyberpunk style guide:http://www.sindome.org/help/cyberpunk/We have a role play workshop on posing and spoofing (a commonlydiscussed difficult to master topic):http://www.sindome.org/help/workshops/And a comprehensive wiki of commonly known in character informationon the world, setting, corporations, gangs, important people, andmore. This wiki is consistently updated, well formatted and alsoavailable in the game:http://www.sindome.org/wiki/index.php/Main_PageThere are also specialized commands to help bring new characters upto speed.@newbie covers the basic commands and theme@tutorials covers a handful of more advanced features."At SHI you must type 'work' every six and a half minutes or elseyou'll be thrown out. You earn 250 credits per real-life hour.Alcoholic beverages start at 90 credits and go up to 300. Clothingstarts in the hundreds and goes into the thousands. Armor starts inthe thousands and goes in the tens of thousands. Tech-items start inthe upper-thousands and go into the hundreds of thousands. The othermethod of earning money is delivering delivering packages to NPCs, notplayers, at a maximum of between three and five packages per RL day.Packages give approximately 100-200 credits each.'SHI and the crate delivery jobs are meant to be starter jobs, a wayto get some basic income while you explore the game. These are not atall the only jobs available in game and SHI especially is supposed tobe a grind so that you get out of that job as quickly as possible andfind something more interesting / entertaining.However, SHI is a great place for new characters to meet each other.Jobs as a low-level immigrant can be hard to come by. That's thestruggle. The haves versus the have-nots. Money is not so hard to comeby when you are in a corporate area, or working for a corporation,something that characters can, with the right amount of RP, accomplishwithin a week or two of arriving in the city. Sometimes sooner.Everything in the game revolves around roleplaying."The bars are often desolate, and when I did happen to find peoplein a bar they told me that they were not hiring and told me to workfor SHI."The game is spread among 4 distinct levels, with players on eachlevel. Even with 40 people average online, you sometimes have toexplore to find role play when you are first starting out. This is oneof the reasons we have what is called the SIC in game. It's an incharacter communication network that allows you to broadcast yourthoughts out to the network. You can talk on a public channel, orprivately. There are also several other ways to communicate withplayers you are not in the same room with, and to find RP.As for players not hiring your character, that is an IC problem and Icannot address why or why not that was the case."I attempted to join the NPC group because my skill set matchedtheirs, but staff did not animate them or acknowledge the @notestating I had been seeking employment. According to posts on theforums, getting staff to animate an NPC can take several real-lifehours."Finding and training GMs from every corner of the globe to give upreal life hours to run a game with as many players as Sindome has, isnot easy. It's an on-going process. It sounds like you followed theproper procedure in speaking with an NPC, and leaving a note if theywere not animated.Staff does not typically respond OOCly to notes left by players.These notes serve to let us know what you are attempting to do so thatwe can be ready if you attempt it again when a staff member isavailable. in the end, that is really down to if an admin isavailable. No one expects you to stand around for two hours, buttrying to talk to an NPC, not getting a response within a few minutes,then trying to talk to them again a few hours later, is completelyacceptable.We do our best."There are no aggressive NPCs on the streets."This is untrue. However, as a new player, with nothing, and not manyhours playing the game under your belt, most GMs are not going toanimate an aggressive NPC to get in your face and mess up your day. Asyour experience with the game grows, this changes.Another important thing to remember is that Sindome is a PvP game.Your biggest threat comes from other players, not from the staff."During my time at Sindome I encountered a number of bugs."Yep. Bugs happen. We use project management software (jira) to triageand prioritize all the bugs that come in and then set about balancingour time between adding new features and fixing critical bugs. Thegame has been under development for 19 years, with new pushed outdaily. We expect our players to be understanding when bugs happen.They are a natural part of the development lifecycle. We can't fixevery bug that comes up, in real time, while also rolling out newfeatures, animating NPCs, answering xhelp questions and building newareas of the game.Any time a bug negatively impacts a player in an IC way, we attemptto make it right when they notify us of the problem.We do our best to live up to even the highest of expectations, but inthe end, our game is driven by players getting involved with otherplayers and the role play that comes out of that.

I think this is an overly critical review. Yes, the game is difficultat the beginning when you have nothing, but this is typical for allheavily RP'd MUD games. And very in sync with the game world settingI just started played less than a week ago and the people working inSHI are sort of quasi-AFK, yes. But, most of them are simply waitingfor someone else to come in so they can initiate RP. To be honest,working is a bit of a pain in the ass, but it is refreshing realistic.And you won't need that much cryen (the in game currency) as long asyou make a couple of friends in the game so you can help each otheralong. Making friends with people in the SHI factory is a good start.Writing a background is not that hard. I knew very little of the ICworld and I got my history approved in my first submission. Anyone whois familiar with a sci-fi dystopian future type of setting shouldn'thave difficulty creating a background story.The staff are actually extremely helpful. I also tried to get incontact with an NPC group for the same reason an dthe respective NPCwas animated in less than 5 minutes. They also keep an eye on the gameworld. One Immy intervened when my character was seriously injured andnearly bled out and animated a nearby NPC doc to help (before I couldeven say anything to get the staff's attention, they simply noticed).They are very dedicated to the game, efficient and friendly. When Isaw you're review, I felt discourage from trying the game. I'm gladI still tried it, because I'm enjoying it very much.

I've been having a hectic month filled with traveling, seeing family and friends, and some really great weekends locally and away. Relaxing up north at Becky's beautiful place on Bear Lake . . .
Visited my Mom in Florida, spent some time with her adorable new dog Riley (aka "Boots") that she adopted from Animal Haven when she was in New York helping us move. Also helped get her new cooking and lifestyle blog, Ninth and Olive, off the ground which I encourage you to check out!
Completed my first olympic distance triathlon right here in Chicago in 90 degree weather.
Am now looking forward to the fall, settling into more of a routine and the temps getting a little more livable!

Okay 2012 is here and I think for most of we it is undeniable that there IS a lot of shifting happen'n, from the tectonic plates of our Earth School to our very own cellular biorhythms. When this happens which IS a GOOD thing…it can bring up 'not so good things'…..not so good things we may not have the foresight [withIN our current conscious awareness] to understand the whole-istic perspective thereto. The point is not whether 'not so good things' come up [from feelings, to thoughts to actual situations] so much as HOW we CHOOSE to RESPOND to them.*
**There is no denying it can BE difficult, YES*, when a bad feeling, thought or experience/situation comes up/happens, to choose to see the positive in the situation, to try to find that one bright spot about the feelings, thoughts, and/or situation, the light within the darkness that can be very consuming………..if we Allow it to be.
Ya see, we CAN also CHOOSE to LOOK for the Light.
For example:
1. Someone transcends the physical; in our 'old english' we would say "die".
There is no taking that back…..[at least not to our current KNOWledge. ;D]
Soooo what IS the bright side????
The bright side IS there and we can choose to see it once……we accept what IS. For what IS, IS. [even though infinitely open to interpretation. ;D]
In accepting what IS – which can BE a HUGE step unto itself, [guidance with Roni IS available for those seeking, get in touch via our contact link above] we can then look for the positive, the 'bright side' as it were, the 'glimmer of light in an otherwise dark and heavy place' and…..
***here's the really important part***
…..we can ALLOW SELF to linger here in this glimmer of light and as we do....
***here's the really cool part***
the Light grows. ~*❤*~
**A special note on "accepting what IS":
It is important, regardless of the situation whether it is someone transcending, becoming ill, losing employment, not meeting a goal/objective, etc….. that we do not get lost in negative judgement and retrospective awareness. There are things we are able to see in retrospect that we could not have foretold apriori. To get lost in the 'blame game' does nothing for anyone, especially self. Accepting what is, is also accepting what was. It does not mean that you can not look back and see where a "wrong turn" may have been taken, or where a new pathway may have been forged, however this is for the purposes of making use of the lessons learned, not to berate, belittle or judge.
If we so do, berate, belittle &/or judge that is, we are only inviting the darkness to stay, which does nothing for us but keep us in a spiralling vat of negativity. In order to 'break free' thereof, we must make USE of what we have experienced for GOOD, period.
Back to our examples:
2. Negative feelings/thoughts accosting the mind….focusing on worries about the future, regrets about the past, needing to come back to the now…….but the thoughts of Fear are growing ever increasingly with every breath we take.
DO, do, do whatever you are able to, in this state of BEing to look for ANYthing that IS going to uplift you starting with, and I know this may sound counterintuitive to some, however:
Looking directly at the fear, recognizing it IS fear, that you are "stressed", "anxious", "worried", "unsure", "confused"….[these are yOUR "Signal words" to SELF that YOU have entered into a state of Fear] and have a conversation with your fear:
"What are YOU freaked out about 'fear' [stress, anxiety, confusion, doubt……]?"
"What's going on?"
"What are you afraid of? What are you unsure about? What is it that has you so upset?"
"What is upsetting you?"
"Where in your body are you feeling the upset feeling?"
"What does it make you feel and think about your self? your life? your current situation?"
"According to whose standards are you judging your self, your life and your current situation?"
And then LISTEN.
**ALL this with the focus on finding/coming back to the Light.**
Once you have begun to engage in a conversation with your fear, with yourself ;D you can further investigate towards your goal by asking questions such as:
"IS this about NOW?"
"Is there another way to look at/perceive this situation?"
"What are the lessons/opportunities available for us to learn from this experience, thought &/or feeling?"
"Can we DO something about this?"
"What are some of the things that are going right, that we have done to assist ourselves already?"
"What are our available options?"
When we engage in conversation with our feelings even the 'dark, dismal', sometimes 'scary' ones', we change fear from our Enemy into our solution solving ally, realigning our Mind withIN its home, our Heart of unconditional LOVE, and thus from the darkness comes Light.
BLISSedly BE,
Radiating LOVE,

Posted By Law Office of Matthew Archambeault || 18-Mar-2016 If you are in the process of trying to obtain your green card, it is very important that you understand how a criminal case of any sort could affect your application process. Our firm can assist you with any complications related to your application process. The sooner you have an effective and knowledgeable Philadelphia immigration attorney on your side for any kind of immigration proceeding, the better. Experienced legal counsel is even more necessary if your case has added complications such as possible criminal charges. Contact the Law Office of Matthew Archambeault today and schedule a case evaluation. What Will Happen to My Immigration Status? If you have been arrested or may be arrested for any kind of criminal offense, it's imperative that you obtain representation from an attorney. Your immigration status could be in jeopardy. Individuals going through the immigration process or with no legal status who have criminal records are a top priority of United States Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE). Because they are considered as putting others in jeopardy, these individuals are at much higher risk for deportation. If you were charged with a crime such as driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, falsifying documents related to your immigration, voting illegally, assault and battery, drug crimes, theft crimes, driving without a license, or anything else, your immigration process could be labeled with "ICE hold status," and officials in your area may be notified. If you request a plea for deferred adjudication or if you submit a guilty plea, you may be deported. If you are put in immigration jail, you could also be held without bail. You need to know the ramifications of your case, and what to do—and what NOT to do—if you are arrested. What to Do If You Are Arrested First of all, you need to speak with a Philadelphia immigration lawyer immediately. Understand that your status and future are at risk. This, if any, is a time to seek legal assistance and guidance. Also, do NOT accept a plea bargain deal or plead guilty to the charges facing you until you have consulted with your immigration attorney and learned all of the repercussions of these actions. Call the Law Office of Matthew Archambeault You need a lawyer's help. The sooner you get legal advice, the better. Our firm in can assist you.

November 23, 2010 – CIOs moving their companies to the cloud need more information ownership and preparation to withstand a lack of industry standards and avoid data silos like those seen in the past, according to recommendations from a leadership council led by EMC.
In its new report, the Leadership Council for Information Advantage surveyed more than 200 CIOs on their concerns with the cloud and made recommendations related to planning, deployment and governance. The group is headed by EMC, an information management and storage company, and includes CIOs from its customers involved in cloud initiatives, including Boeing, JPMorgan Chase and Fidelity. Council CIOs were not part of the survey, which included some EMC customers.
The council found that all CIOs surveyed were actively planning or moving their companies to the cloud, but that only 34 percent of those companies have a plan in place for information governance and access. That absence of preparation highlights some of the deeper issues with deployment and led to many of the recommendations by the council, says Andrea Leggett, EMC senior product marketing manager.
Paramount among the issues of many groups taking early steps toward the cloud is the risk of "data silos 2.0," Leggett says. The report suggests an overarching business plan for clouds that includes more than just IT officers and involves integration across departments and with public and in-house clouds.
"With a cloud strategy, you go against active cloud services just popping up," Leggett says.
Other recommendations from the council to CIOs new to the cloud include finding a low-risk test case for deployment, establish ownership of all information prior to a move to the cloud, and readying data sets across a business regardless of level of cloud migration.
With cloud computing standards still being debated, Leggett says that it's up to cloud users to push vendors for standardization.
"There have been a lot of new things coming out with thoughts on what is a standard," Leggett says.
The council advised on insisting on clear documentation on data formats from cloud vendors with information architecture at the top of mind. The council noted that many services floated to the cloud may be more easy to integrate and standardize than in-house data systems, and cited CRM features with salesforce.com as an example.

Exhibiting Brucciani
New exhibition panels have recently been installed at the Museum of Classical Archaeology, based on my research into the plaster casts produced by D. Brucciani & Co. They include a general introduction, timeline and interpretive labels for six of the objects in the collection. Cumulatively they are intended to add a supplementary narrative that engages with their manufacture, authorship and function in the context of nineteenth-century material culture. In other words, to provide another 'way in' to the collection by revealing what the object is rather than (or in addition to) what the object is of. This was a rare opportunity to manage every stage of the process, from research and writing to design and installation. Being essentially a one-room museum with a (broadly) chronological display based on the age of the 'original', it was most practical to work with and around the existing arrangement of objects.
Back in June, Mark Elliot and Sarah-Jane Harknett from the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, and Victoria Avery from the Fitzwilliam Museum, led a workshop session for the Connecting with Collections group on writing text for exhibitions, which informed my approach to this set of tasks. Although writing labels was not completely outside my experience, it was illuminating to hear from museum professionals from a variety of different disciplinary perspectives, sharing their experience of the shifting consensus on what is considered 'good practice' over time. We were also pointed in the direction of a particularly useful document, 'Gallery Text at the V&A: A Ten Point Guide', which helped me to frame and distill what had become a cumbersome amount of primary material.
I would like to thank the curator of the Museum of Classical Archaeology, Susanne Turner and Mick Cafferkey, senior illustrator at PandIS, for printing and mounting the panels with such precision.

I've seen a few kitchens that are making a case for black. Especially black cabinetry. Kitchen cabinets are so necessary, and so frequently ugly. Maybe if we paint them black they'll disappear?
This kitchen by Jennifer Vaughn Miller looks pretty sharp. It might be a touch dark, although I'm sure that fantastic chandelier would solve that problem.
This kitchen, designed by Mazen Studio, is a bit more low-key (and, um, realistic). I love the warmth that the butcher block countertop adds, and the white space above the counter keeps it bright. Throw in some open shelving, and I could definitely see myself chopping garlic, sipping wine, and listening to Bonnie Raitt in here.
(Wait, do you not listen to Bonnie Raitt while you cook? You should remedy that.)

My mother lives about 2000 miles away from me.
She has always had short term memory recall, though she is also very intelligent. Loves to study, love to read the bible, very outgoing and loves people. I should say, she used to love to study and read. Now she has no interest in it.
She is a one on one person, meaning she thrives sitting down with a friend or another human and chatting over a cup of coffee. Everybody was her friend. Now everybody is a suspicious character, it seems.
She remarried about 5 years ago to a man she has known for quite some time. We gave them lots of space, since they were newlyweds.
A couple years before she got married, we (her children) noticed she was starting to get more confused in the daily details of life. Like getting lost while driving. She started isolating herself and really thought the people that loved her most were trying to hurt her.
It was last Wednesday I got the call from the Doctor. She has quite a bit of atrophy on her brain. She needs to take medicine and get on a medical plan.
All of her children live far away. The closest children are a 12 hour drive away.
We aren't there to take care of her. We have to rely on her husband to take care of her.

Uranium mining and radioactive waste pollutes our air, soil and water. It can damage the genetic and reproductive systems of plants, animals and people. There is no secure, long-term solution to cope with the millions of tonnes of radioactive wastes from mining operations, or the more risky and longer lived radioactive waste from power stations.
Right now plans to ship, store and bury national radioactive waste are being explored on Aboriginal country in South Australia. Even after South Australians rejected a plan for SA to house international nuclear waste.
Around one-third of the world's uranium reserves are found in Australia. All of our uranium is exported. In Western Australia, Aboriginal communities oppose proposals to let companies mine uranium on their country. All of Australia's operating uranium mines have a history of leaks, spills and accidents – and none have ever been properly rehabilitated.
Australia has a significant role and responsibility in the international nuclear debate.
Our energy future is not nuclear – it's sun and wind powered. Uranium, coal, oil, and gas are the old world. Sun, wind and waves are the new world. Clean energy can scale to power our cities and it's already happening.
We have consistently opposed uranium mining, highlighting its threats to our land, water, Indigenous cultures and local communities. For two decades successive governments have tried to impose radioactive waste on unwilling remote communities. Waste plans for Muckaty in the Northern Territory were shelved after sustained Aboriginal and community opposition. We stand with Aboriginal and rural communities who are concerned about plans to pollute their air, soil and water.
Decisions on handling radioactive waste last longer than this generation.
We facilitate a continuing public debate about the risks and responsibilities of our involvement in the global nuclear trade. We can address our energy needs, leaving uranium in the ground. We want responsible management of existing radioactive waste and an active transition away from producing more.
South Australia is too good to waste. #nuclearfree #yourSAynuclear #DontDumpOnSA www.acf.org.au/waste
